I had an idea for an enemy. It would be mid-level, nowhere near a boss, but definitely not a one-hit KO either, kind of along the lines of Frost in DMC4.

The Nichtvren is a vampiric demon of cruel and terrible beauty. Grey-skinned and painfully thin, it appears as an angel of death with its black wings of shadow and its mournful screech. ((I'm up in the air on whether the flappers are bird or bat.)) It devours its victims, blood, flesh and soul, hungry for the taste of the life it once possessed. When nothing but bones are left, the remains are covered in ash and a new Nichtvren is born.

Strategy: It's a creature of darkness, so use light or fire, like the Salamander. Its wings make it impervious to gunfire, but being made of shadow, can be dispersed with light/fire ((=Salamander)), at which point it is particularly vunerable to the Shotgun. If it bites you, it will steadily drain your health, so use Devil Trigger to make it let go.
